For some reason this quote resonated with me, long after the movie ended...

"Perhaps when two people are exactly in accord, and always happy when together and lonely when apart, they ought not to let anything in the world stand between them." Judy Abbot <~~~ this story written in 1912 and people in 1912 can be very simple and humble yet romantic. I wish I live in 1912. hahahaha
